It's very interesting that in his autobiography, Gordon Banks wrote, " The mark of a good goalkeeper is how few saves he has to make during a game. A spectacular save is the last resort when all else - positioning, anticipation, defence - have failed."
According to Banksy, then, and the stats, Tom must be superior to Hart in his positioning, anticipation and (organising the) defence.
I don't think anybody would argue with that.
